Deep dive into moving tagged Apple Notes to a folder

The new "Move Notes Tag to Folder" shortcut streamlines your Apple Notes organization by automating the transfer of tagged notes into specific folders. This eliminates tedious manual sorting, especially when you have a large collection of notes that you want to structure more efficiently. It’s perfect for those who want to transition from a tag-heavy system to a more organized folder-based approach.

What's new

This shortcut introduces a focused automation for Apple Notes. Previously, managing notes between tags and folders required multiple manual steps. Now, you can simply specify a tag, and the shortcut will identify all notes containing that tag and move them to a designated folder. A key enhancement is the ability for the shortcut to automatically create the target folder if it doesn't already exist, ensuring a seamless organizational flow.

How to use this feature

  1. Run the Move Notes Tag to Folder shortcut from your Shortcuts library.
  2. You will be prompted to enter the exact tag (e.g., "work", "ideas") of the notes you wish to move. Ensure the tag name is accurate.
  3. Next, you'll be asked to input the name of the folder where these notes should be moved. For optimal organization, consider using a folder name identical to your tag.
  4. The shortcut will then find all Apple Notes containing the specified tag and relocate them to the designated folder. If the folder doesn't exist, the shortcut will create it for you before moving the notes.

Key capabilities

  • Effortless Note Relocation: Automatically move multiple tagged notes to a specific folder in one go.
  • Automatic Folder Creation: If the target folder doesn't exist, the shortcut creates it for you, saving an extra step.
  • Enhanced Organization: Maintain a clean and structured Apple Notes environment by grouping related notes more effectively.
  • Time-Saving Automation: Drastically reduce the time spent on manual note sorting and management.

Tips for getting the most out of this feature

To ensure accuracy, always double-check the spelling of your tags when prompted by the shortcut. Consider running this shortcut periodically as part of your digital hygiene routine to keep your Apple Notes tidy. If you're consolidating notes, you can choose to delete the tag from the notes after moving them to prevent duplication in your organizational scheme.

Summary

The "Move Notes Tag to Folder" shortcut is a powerful addition for Apple Notes users seeking better organization. By automating the process of moving tagged notes into relevant folders, it not only saves valuable time but also fosters a more structured and manageable personal information system. This feature empowers you to maintain a pristine digital workspace with minimal effort.
